| antibiotic resistance in burkina faso. | burkina faso is one of the subsaharan african nations. no national services for monitoring of antibiotic resistance are available, so the number of reports of resistance patterns among hospital pathogens are inconsistent. in order to evaluate antibiotic resistance, a total of 1998 valuable microrganisms were analysed during 2000 at the medical centre st. camille of ouagadougou, burkina faso's capital. they were isolated as follows: 1012 from urine-culture, 503 from tonsil swabs, 398 from pus, 53 ... | 2003 | 12901422 |
| major enzymatic factors involved in bacterial penicillin resistance in burkina faso. | many clinical species of bacteria were isolated from biological samples such as urines, blood and wound in saint camille medical centre of ouagadougou. among the concerned species, the most important members were escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae. these p-lactamases producing isolates were directly screened by pcr to identify the nature of the amplified genes responsible for penicillin destroying activity. therefore specific tem and shv primers were used. the pcr products were sequenced ... | 2007 | 19069526 |
| antibiotic resistance in urinary tract bacteria in ouagadougou. | the present study aimed to ascertain for the current situation of antimicrobial resistance of major urinary tract bacteria in saint camille medical centre. during two consecutive years, 794 urine specimens were analyzed for microorganism isolation and identification. the microorganisms were identified by conventional methods used in the centre and antimicrobial assays were performed by the nccls agar disk diffusion. pathogenic microorganism's isolation was attempted for 89.04% samples. escherich ... | 2009 | 19634476 |
